pennae 6526d1676b replace most Pos objects/ptrs with indexes into a position table
Pos objects are somewhat wasteful as they duplicate the origin file name and
input type for each object. on files that produce more than one Pos when parsed
this a sizeable waste of memory (one pointer per Pos). the same goes for
ptr<Pos> on 64 bit machines: parsing enough source to require 8 bytes to locate
a position would need at least 8GB of input and 64GB of expression memory. it's
not likely that we'll hit that any time soon, so we can use a uint32_t index to
locate positions instead.

toJSON: report error position for fancier output
Given flake:

```nix
{ description = "nix json error provenance";
  inputs = {};
  outputs = { self }: {
    jsonFunction = _: "function";
    json = builtins.toJSON (_: "function");
  };
}

```
- Before:

```console
❯ nix eval --json .#jsonFunction
error: cannot convert a function to JSON
```

- After:

```console
❯ nix eval --json .#jsonFunction
error: cannot convert a function to JSON

            5|     json = builtins.toJSON (_: "function");
